Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Hemingway was a prisoner of his style. No one can talk like the characters in Hemingway except the characters in Hemingway. His style in the wildest sense finally killed him.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)
